Bus fare
BRTC deserves kudos for introducing a host of new CNG buses in different routes in Dhaka city. Those are very spacious and can carry a good number of passengers. It helps the regular commuters a lot, especially during the office time.
But it charges the same fares as do the other diesel run bus companies. Since CNG is still cheaper than diesel, the bus fares should be made proportionately cheap. The BRTC authorities should consider the matter. If the fairs are cheaper, it would be more popular among the middle-income group and reduce their monetary duress substantially. The government and the BRTC authorities should think about the middle and low-income commuters.
